Reforged
Cursed and dying, Thorn has landed at a crossroad…
He can either give up and die, or walk a path he never wanted to touch. Reluctantly accepting that his only chance at life rests in corrupt magic, Thorn soon finds himself exploring a world of ancient mysteries, all while trying to hide his tracks from those who want to hunt him down.
Pursued by bounty hunters intent on dragging him back in chains, Thorn soon discovers the plot is deeper than he thought. Even the Tardoff clan, one of the powerful challenger families, is intent on capturing him and extracting his knowledge of ancient runes. To make matters worse, they’re coming after him themselves.
When Thorn discovers that some of his companions from Angoril might be with them, he is forced to confront his pursuers, leveraging every ounce of his strength, intelligence, and courage to escape with what is left of his life and reforge himself, in both body and soul.

The power balance is just becoming terrible.
The plot armor, the last minute saves, the lucky choices leading to perfect coincidences, it is all becoming a chore to read. The overall balance is just horrible, and it is only getting worse.

Half of the story is great
The start had the same issue as the first book. Thorn by himself is boring and the combat is stale when he is just wacking things that are lame. The real turning point was velin, her banter and the change of the story went back to what makes this story great. The last quarter of the book was epic page turner. All that is needed is Nina and alf.

This felt like one long fight scene at times. What’s he trying to do again?
June 20, 2025
I could've done with fewer fighting sequences. Eve started to dislike Eve at the start of this installment, which is a sign of good writing/ a truly sentient AI, I suppose. But her comment at the end changed my image of her a bit. She's not as mindlessly power hungry just for the sake of her own survival. I still argue she takes things too far at times but in these scenarios it's unclear whether she's pushing for the path she deems objectively better or if she pushes Thorn just to challenge him and keep him on his toes.

Thanks to NetGalley and Blackstone for the audiobook ARC!
I have been reading Battle Mage Farmer and enjoying it so thought I'd love to try another series. Silly me, this is book two in the series! Time to go back and listen to the first book! I thought I was missing things because it was a continuation from his Nova Terra Series which I haven't read.
That's okay I still enjoyed this title, and the narrator. Fun world building.

Mmmmmnope.
Reading this book feels like going through the shopping list during Christmas preps. And you have this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this, with no real purpose or flow whatsoever. Items on a list with facts and details attached.
Where is the story? Where?
Thank you! I want my money back
Won't continue the series even if I get it for free.

I've just finished listening to this book on Audible for the third time, and my enjoyment of it remains as strong as ever, just like with the rest of the Titan series. This latest entry took an interesting turn by subjecting Thorne to real challenges, which was a refreshing departure from the previous books that often portrayed him with a relatively smooth path to advancement. However, it's worth noting that Thorne still enjoys an unusual degree of protection from the vicissitudes of his adventures.
I appreciate the author's choice to introduce more hurdles for Thorne, and I'm eagerly looking forward to further character development and struggles in the upcoming books. One aspect that left me somewhat unsatisfied was the tendency for the author to neatly resolve various story threads. Some events seemed to conveniently fall into place, and it's challenging to explain them without invoking the concept of narrative convenience.
On a different note, I can't help but think that both this series and the previous Titan series have the potential to be adapted into captivating video games and movies, given their immersive and action-packed narratives.
Despite my critiques, I remain committed to following the series with each new release. The world and characters crafted by the author continue to hold my interest, and I'm eager to see where the story takes us next.

Good book, but things move too fast
But there is a bit of ridiculous power creep.
Before, it always felt like the author was able to think of a semi-reasonable way for Thorn to make it through. If all else failed he could still resurrect when it was just a game. But near the end of this book, it felt like the author was just making sh** up. In the last two books, there were 3 or 4 moments where Thorn got in over his head and "suddenly realized" that this wasn't a game anymore. He supposedly learns that he isn't the strongest anymore. He still charges into fights against stronger enemies. I wanted to see more of Thorns' smart political mind crush the powerful people working against him. Instead he just powers up and fights harder. Then runs away.
I admit that he was kind of overwhelmed with super powerful enemies and didn't have time to scheme or people to scheme with.

Reforged is the second book in this series, and I don't mind telling you that I was lost at the beginning. I had to go back and look to make sure I'd read the first one.
The story goes along quite nicely, and the main character has all kinds of problems, including some of his own making, but eventually, it all resolves itself (well, kind of), and he's now worked his way into a completely new environment just in time for the next book. I'll read the next book, but I'm not sure if I'll continue with the series after that one, I'll have to see how that book grabs me.
It's a decent tail, but it's borderline not appealing to me at this point.

Reforged picks up right where Forge Master left off, with Thorn cursed, dying, and hunted by enemies on all sides. To survive, he’s forced down a much darker path—dabbling in corrupt magic, untangling ancient mysteries, and evading bounty hunters and the ruthless Tardoff clan who want the secrets he carries. The stakes are higher, the danger sharper, and Thorn’s journey really feels like it’s testing not just his strength, but his will and spirit.
What I loved most here is how the book leans into the idea of transformation—Thorn being “reforged” isn’t just about his body, but who he is and what he’s willing to sacrifice. There’s more political intrigue, more danger, and plenty of action that kept me hooked the whole way through.
A fantastic continuation of the series—darker, grittier, and even more addictive

I enjoyed this novel the most of all of Seth Ring's novels. The hero, Thorn, is in a more magical world and now he's a weakling. He's consistently the weakest player on a team. He still has strength and an intense will and resilience, but he's not as battle worthy.
Most of the book is about his journey to forge a new life in this new world. He also has powerful people out to kill him. He's fooled into joining a decrepit guild of blacksmiths, laden with debt and political liabilities. Then there is the most powerful guild, the Artifacers, who is out to get him. Also, the most powerful family, the royal family of the Emperor and Empress are also out to get him.
The book grabs you with action and doesn't let up. Enjoy!

Thorn continues to scrape by until he has no choice but to take a chance
Always in the thick of whatever is going on, Thorn has found himself in a tight spot that again and again but this time his luck may not be enough to save him from a cursed existence as a lich.
He survives but the cost is high and life with the curse is fraught with peril but Al he has to do is avoid finishing the transition to lichdom while surviving multiple higher tier warriors.
As long as he can reunite with Velin, Thorn feels he can figure out the rest, as long as she isn’t disgusted by his new appearance.
Read on for Thorn’s continuing adventures on Lestra!

Redeeming the series after book 1.
I didn’t like the change from Thorn being a melee fighter to trying to be a pure mage at all. And while I’d still rather he went back, this entry was much better for me than the last. Maybe it was that the first book was a curveball that I didn’t take well, but this was a fun adventure. Thorn gets some serious power ups, and some interesting new paths seem to be opening before him. We get Velin back, which helps the story, and Thorn finally gets off the planet he’s been on! All improvements! Now I’m much more enthused for the next book!

Great story, just keeps on keeping on
Fantastic action, lots of surprises from different beasts to backstabbers to almost becoming undead. The MC is OP, but has to fight against advesaries even more powerful, then they invite their friends to the party. Even the nuclear option doesnt get rid of his nemesis, she's like an energizer bunny, but then so is he. It doesnt stop until the final battle with with a semi-divine assassain.
Looking forward to more sequels, before l go back and start the prequel series. YAY!

Book 2 of A Nova Terra series. This is the next in the series of the series I started. However, not having read the first series continues to hamper my attachment to the adding of characters. Leaving that aside it is high action with a floundering character just showing up to a whole new world. That said, I enjoyed the book and am very curious where it goes from here. The most interesting part is as a balance is being created and the main character is actually able to become the hero.

KU Review
So many twists and turns since Thorn ascended. The story definitely keeps you on your toes. After the last books nail biting cliffhanger, this one was much better at closing the current to prepare for the next.
General disclaimer: I want to be clear in that I do not factor cost into any review and as such, this is simply a reflection of my enjoyment of the book and in no way reflects cost to value analysis.

What a fun series of books!
I’ve continued to be impressed with the world that Seth has been developing. Throughout this series, he has maintained a satisfying balances of conflict and resolution, that has scaled proportionally to the strength of the characters. I would recommend starting with the prior Nova Tera series, because jumping straight into the Tower series has a steep learning curve.

I have a bad feeling about this book.
How the last book ended, I feel there will be more people from that Nova Terra series, and this will go from a single POV, to multi-POV characters.
The glimpse that was given to me at the end of book one was that of people I want nothing to know of.
This wasn't bad, a bunch of POVs didn't pop up from nowhere, so I'm hesitantly looking to read the sequel.
3/5 Stars

OMG! This book was amazing
I stayed up till three in the morning to finish this book! The fight scenes, the dialogue, especially when the characters were thinking to themselves,...
The way the writer merged science, nature and magic was seamless. I have fallen head over heels with the characters; the good, the bad, and the incredibly ugly.
Readers! If you like this genre, take the time and read this series. It's exciting, and action packed from beginning to end!

I feel like the book started off very well, equal to or besting book #1, but it fell off at some point and several categories of things started bothering me.

I hate this
I've never read a book that gave an "oh my god one more page" feeling for the majority of the book. I've been trying to work the last few days and constantly trying to find brief moments where I could sneak in a few more pages.
This is a great series, and this is a very exciting addition.

The Multiverse's Biggest Cheat!
This is as great a read as the previous book in this series; and as in the ten books of the previous series. The romance between Thorn and Velin has been the slowest smoldering burn ever, but looks to finally be reaching the point of catching flame. Finally!

Even better than the first
It's do satisfying when everything is tied up in a neat bow at the end of a book. it's well written and likely to expand your vocabulary too, besides keeping you on the edge of you're seat. I'm excited for the rest!!! (Yes this was choppy I don't usually leave reviews)

Never Stop
The twist and turns, the just enough over coming storyline, and the win at the end type of writing was outstanding!! I was drawn into how, what, when, and can’t wait to see moments!!! Please continue to write this series, I love how you check off and complete loose endings in the story, I really appreciate the conclusion of the storyline. Great Job

I'd probably rate this one three stars except for the creative ways the author finds to power-up Thorne. Also, I wish the antagonist's motivations were fleshed out a little more. She went from reasonable to crazy a little too abruptly.

What a great book
What a great book and a great series, so well written, so well done action adventure, Snark it’s got it all and I love every second of it. This is where the book is supposed to be.

Another good book in the series
I felt like some stuff got resolved in this book. This and book one felt like a two parter with the story ready to move forward in book three. Looking forward to the gang getting back together.
